Transcription:
(COPY -Original in possession of Mrs. Florence Merriam Bailey) Martinea, California, Dec. 29, 1900. My dear Mr. and Mrs.
Bailey:I was glad to get your kind cheery letters, and now wish I could look in with New Year's greetings to the home you
have made. You have had so much experience in home-making this year and many others - a new one every summer day, I am sure
this winter one must be very snug and squirrelish and enormously rich in spoils of the wilderness. I wonder if it needs anything
from this side the country that I could send. If so pray let me know. In the meantime I most heartily wish you happy New
Year and good luck and am, Ever faithfully yours, (Signed) JOHN MUIR 02817
